Revision as of 13:17, 3 December 2022

Schedule A! Schedule B! Schedule C What They Actually Put On Air! This week's listings have more than we'd like "if... then... else... maybe."

None of that sports nonsense affects Fboy Island (BBC3, from Monday). The sportsball might delay The Big Quiz (2) (ITV, Mon; VM1, Wed).

Nothing will stop Celebrity Juice (ITV2, Thu), because it's the last one ever! Ever, ever, ever. Until the inevitable revival in 2033, natch. And nothing will stop Junior Eurovision Song Contest Preview (CBBC, Fri).
